After Zheng Goucheng and Madman Li left, Lu Mingxuan left Zhang Yushu alone.

"How is the situation in Jiyuan City now?" Lu Mingxuan asked in a deep voice.

"Now a large number of people from outside the city are pouring into Jiyuan City every day. I suspect that these people are mixed with spies from various forces." Zhang Yushu said to Lu Mingxuan.

Ever since Lu Mingxuan opened some factories, a large number of migrant workers from all over the country have poured into Jiyuan City, making the originally sparsely populated town become bustling with dragons and snakes.

"In addition, among the new recruits recruited this time, we also found some people who may be enemy spies, including 15 people suspected of being Japanese spies and more than 30 people from other parties. These people are overwhelmingly

Most of them are trying to infiltrate our air force, artillery and armored forces. I have incorporated them into the 9th Battalion of Recruits according to your instructions." Zhang Yushu continued.

Lu Mingxuan nodded, and then said to him: "You must increase the screening efforts. Those Japanese spies who have sneaked into the army must be caught out one by one. Spies from other forces can be let go first. How can I say this?

We are all Chinese, so we should be given this face."

"I understand, Commander. In addition, I have two more things to say to you." Zhang Yushu said to him.

"What's up?"

"The provincial government plans to arrange a county magistrate in Jiyuan." Zhang Yushu said cautiously.

"Didn't I recommend Zhang Boya to them as the county magistrate of Jiyuan City? Why don't they install the county magistrate in Jiyuan City? Are they not even willing to give me this face?" Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but said angrily.

The position of Jiyuan County Magistrate has been vacant since he was scared away by bandits.

So he recommended Zhang Boya to the provincial government for the position of Jiyuan County Magistrate. Although the county magistrate was not a big official, he was still an official. It could be considered as comfort to Zhang Boya, a loyal old subordinate.

But he didn't expect that the people in the province would be so disrespectful and even rejected the people he recommended. It seemed that they really didn't take him seriously.

Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but become furious when he thought of this.

Without my support, the county magistrate you sent is useless!

"This is not very clear." Zhang Yushu said carefully.

"Since others don't give me face, then I don't need to give others face. Remember, I also drove away this county magistrate." Lu Mingxuan said coldly.

He didn't pay much attention to a small county magistrate, so he just asked his subordinates to do this kind of thing.

"I got it, Military Seat. Another thing is that the Nanjing Japs are going to hold some kind of grand entrance ceremony, and they're going to invite representatives from all over the world to attend. I heard there's a lot of commotion."

Zhang Yushu said to him.

"Oh, it seems that our old friend King Jiuyan of Asaka Palace must be very proud of himself recently." After hearing his words, Lu Mingxuan had an inexplicable smile on his face.

"I think so." Zhang Yushu said quickly.

"How can such a grand event without my participation? I think we should send them a big congratulatory gift, what do you think?"

"Military Commander, you are wise." Zhang Yushu said quickly with a flattering look on his face.

In Nanjing, the weather is sunny and windy.

The news that the Japs were going to hold a grand entrance ceremony had spread all over the world, and in order to boost the morale of the Imperial Japanese soldiers and people, they decided to invite envoys and reporters from all over the world to China to attend this grand event.

Moreover, at the press conference, Major General Mamoru Iizawa, Chief of Staff of the Central China Front, personally answered questions from reporters.

Of course, reporters from all over the world would not be polite. A reporter from the UK first asked Iizawa Mamoru: "General, I heard that a lieutenant general and a colonel of your army were captured alive by the Kuomintang."

They were captured alive, and the enemy wants to take these two officers to Wuhan for an ancient prisoner sacrifice ceremony. Is all this true?"

"Is this..." Upon hearing this reporter's question, Mamoru Iizawa was speechless. How come these foreign reporters didn't mention anything and directly asked him such an embarrassing question? Could it be that they

Can’t you see that we are the winners?

But Mamoru Iizawa is such a fickle person, how could he be so easily knocked down by a reporter?

So he coughed lightly and said: "Mr. reporter, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. It has not been confirmed whether a lieutenant general and a colonel of our army have been captured, so we

They were just listed as missing."

"And assuming they are really captured, we lodge a solemn protest against the backward and barbaric prisoner sacrifice ceremony held by the national government. Their behavior seriously violates the Geneva International Convention and is a blatant violation of the international social order.

Trampled on. Therefore, I ask them to treat all prisoners as prisoners of war in accordance with the International Geneva Convention, instead of sending them to Wuhan as prisoners of war."

Mamoru Iizawa said righteously and solemnly, if people who didn't know him would think that he was a righteous old man instead of a vicious Japanese devil.

Some Japanese reporters applauded after hearing his words. What General Iizawa Mamoru said was really good.

But the British reporter didn't buy it at all.

"Your Excellency General, as far as I know, you Japanese have always refused to sign the Geneva International Convention, and your troops have massacred local unarmed people in Port Arthur, Jinan, and Nanjing. What qualifications do you have to ask your officers

How about being treated as a prisoner of war?"

"Baga Yalu! What do you mean! How dare you question the army of our Empire of Japan?" At this time, a Japanese reporter with a fierce look stood up and said.

"I'm just discussing the matter. Please don't mess around here." The British reporter said in a panic, why are these Japanese so barbaric?

"Baga Ya Road! You are not welcome here, get out of here." Another Japanese reporter stood up and said.

Today is a day of great glory for the Japanese Empire. The little devils who have always felt inferior in front of white people have become bolder today. Normally, they would not dare to scold a white reporter like this.

"Baga Yalu! Get out of here! How dare you insult our Imperial Army of Japan!"

More and more Japanese reporters stood up, and then walked up to this reporter and pushed him. Some even looked at him fiercely, seemingly wanting to teach him a lesson.

Mamoru Iizawa had a smile in his eyes when he saw this. He was still very dissatisfied with this British reporter, so he did not stop the behavior of the Japanese reporters, but just waited and watched.

When the Japanese soldiers saw that Mamoru Iizawa didn't say anything to stop him, they were happy to watch the fun. They were even willing to teach the British reporter a lesson.

"What are you going to do?" the British reporter said with a little fear when he saw more and more Japanese reporters surrounding him.

"What are you doing? Let him go!" Soon an American reporter stood up.

Seeing someone standing up, more and more Western reporters stood up. After all, they are all in the same group. Even if little Japan defeated Tsarist Russia, they still have an indescribable sense of superiority against little Japan.

"Okay, everyone, please stop now." At this time, Iizawa Mamoru stepped forward to save the situation and said, if this continues, the press conference will not be able to continue, and they will lose face.

Upon hearing Mamoru Iizawa's words, the Japanese soldiers who were maintaining order quickly went up to separate them.

"I think I can still answer the question just now. Although our Empire of Japan did not sign the International Geneva Convention, China did, right? As long as they signed the International Geneva Convention, I think they should abide by that convention, otherwise

They are violating that convention."

Mamoru Iizawa said with a smile on his face.

After hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but yell at him for being shameless. He was so shameless. It turned out that people could be so shameless. This was the first time they had seen him.

"Your Excellency General, I heard that the Guoqi detachment was completely wiped out by the 189th Division. Is this true?" At this time, another Canadian reporter stood up and said.

"No! There is absolutely no such thing! That is absolutely a blatant slander. Our Guoqi detachment only suffered a small setback and was definitely not completely wiped out by the enemy." Iizawa Mamoru said firmly.

"I also heard that the 9th Division was also crippled by the 189th Division?" Another American reporter also stood up and asked.

"No! What you heard is all false information! Our 9th Division did have a fierce battle with the 189th Division, but only hundreds of people were killed and injured, and they were definitely not maimed by the enemy." Iizawa Mamoru denied it.

He is very familiar with answering these questions, otherwise he would not be the one to answer these reporters' questions. As long as he firmly denies, there is nothing they can do against him.

"I heard that the commander of the 189th Division hopes to have a duel between knights with the strongest division of your army to decide which army is the real first division in East Asia. Is this possible?"

At that time, a German reporter stood up and asked.

"Yes, it does happen." Mamoru Iizawa thought for a while and said. Many Chinese people knew about this through the radio, so he had nothing to deny.

"So will your army agree to this?" the German reporter asked very excitedly.

I have to say that Westerners do have a very serious knight complex. As soon as they heard that there was going to be a showdown between knights between the two divisions of China and Japan to decide the ownership of the first division in East Asia, all those Western reporters became

Extremely excited.

"No, we have no such plan." Iizawa Mamoru shook his head and said: "We believe that war is a very serious matter. In order to win the war, we should use all means, instead of being some idiot knight.

Showdown. I think Commander Lu's proposal is a very idiotic one. I can't imagine that such an idiot can become the supreme commander of a division. No wonder the Kuomintang always loses in battles. It turns out that the chivalry of idiots is at work.

"

Mamoru Iizawa said with disdain, what kind of age are we still talking about chivalry?

The German reporter was stunned at first after hearing his words, but soon he became extremely angry: "You bastard, you dare to insult the great spirit of chivalry. As a descendant of a great Teutonic knight, I apologize to you."

Propose a formal duel."

After saying that, he looked at his hands. When he realized that he was not wearing white gloves, he took off his leather boots and threw them at Mamoru Iizawa.

Mamoru Iizawa was stunned for a while. Did he say something wrong? He didn't seem to say anything wrong? Is it true that chivalry is still practiced in wars nowadays? Do you Westerners still play chivalry with the enemy when fighting?

Of course, it's of no use. Do I have a cannon and don't use it, but have to fight with you on a bayonet?

Hearing a "pop!", Iizawa Mamoru didn't react, and the leather boot hit his face, leaving a shoe mark on his face.

Seeing this, the Japanese soldiers couldn't help but be stunned, but they quickly reacted, rushed forward, pushed the German reporter to the ground, and punched and kicked him.

"Bagaya Road! Bagaya Road!" Mamoru Iizawa said angrily.

He is a dignified chief of staff of the front army, and someone dares to throw a shoe at him. This is really the greatest insult to him.

"Come here, let me... lock him up."

Mamoru Iizawa wanted to order the soldiers to shoot him, but considering that he was a German after all, he locked him up first.

Soon the Japanese soldiers escorted the German reporter away, but the German reporter still yelled at Iizawa Mamoru. It was obvious that he was very angry that Iizawa Mamoru had insulted the chivalry he was proud of.

The German reporter was escorted away, and Mamoru Iizawa soon discovered that the atmosphere of the entire press conference had changed. All the Western reporters glared at him.
